Catherine Svilicic never would have guessed her rescue dog would act out with aggression towards her young 17 month-old baby! When a mother sees her own child being tossed like that, they fear for her child’s life of course and her precious face.

Thus, on that fateful morning, she ran with her baby to shelter, but what happened next revealed something about her new dog’s intentions.
